if it ain't rainin', it ain't trainin'!
for me, rain has no bearing on if or when i ride. rain jacket, cap, seal skin socks and decent gloves is all i need. training in the rain helped me out last year. i had a race on a day when a monsoon came through. lots of people freaked out because it was POURING. no joke, it was REALLY coming down hard. since i trained for and in it, i was more than prepared for the race.
